If you do not serve the Lord your God with joy and enthusiasm for the abundant benefits you have received, 48you will serve your enemies whom the Lord will send against you.

“The Lord our God has secrets known to no one. We are not accountable for them, but we and our children are accountable forever for all that he has revealed to us, so that we may obey all the terms of these instructions.

Lord God my Father,

Remove my grumpy way when things are a struggle. Allow me to overcome with Joy, your Joy in my heart. Give me lips that are slow to speak and ears that listen carefully, allow me to seek you in all things and help me to obey your influence.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
